Will 15th time finally be the charm for Maddux tonight vs. Arizona?

By this time, Greg Maddux should have already passed the inactive Roger Clemens to become the eighth-winningest pitcher in major league history.

When Maddux picked up win No. 350 back on May 10, he was only four wins shy of catching Clemens and five wins away from being sole possessor of the No. 8 spot.

At that time, it appeared Maddux might climb as high as sixth on the all-time list by the end of the season. Now he might not catch Clemens in 2008.

Fourteen straight starts without a win have left Maddux stuck on 350 with up to a dozen starts remaining this season, starting with tonight's outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 7:05 at Petco Park.

Even if Maddux catches Clemens, will it be as a Padre? The Padres are shopping Maddux, who is making $10 million this season. But the future Hall of Famer has a no-trade clause in his contract and has made it clear he wishes to remain on the West Coast to remain close to his family.
